Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Sláintecare

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

We have a timeline for progressing implementation in the Dublin area, but not for completion at this stage. I am hopeful of making substantial progress on that during 2021. The final completion of it might take two or three years, given that it will require much reconfiguration on different sites in terms of ensuring that the major trauma centre has access on site to all the various specialties that are required in a national trauma centre. I am hopeful of making good progress on it in 2021.
